I will be signing books/comics/statues/etc at my table the whole show and for free.

COMMISSION SKETCHES

I will take sketch requests all day Friday.

I will write down all names however I will be choosing myself who's sketch I'm drawing and if you had a sketch recently I won't be doing you a sketch so I can try to get sketches down for fans who I haven't done sketches for.

I will only be producing about 5-10 sketches.

Sketches are $300 each for a single figure and $150 for a bust and sketch covers.

ORIGINAL ART

I will be selling original art from X-Men, Catwoman, Songes/Muse, Avengers, Avenging Spider-Man, The Defenders, Uncanny X-Men, Wonder Woman and selected covers, pinups and sketches.

PRINTS/POSTCARDS

I will have the Rose City, Down Under, New York, San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, Paris and Seattle prints for sale. I will also have postcards of all available.

Here's a look behind how the cover of X-Men #13 was created (out in stores this week from Marvel Comics - written by Brian Wood with art by Clay Mann).

The first stage of coloring is to have the art "flatted".

Flatting allows the colorist to choose an area to color at any point throughout the coloring process.

My initial rough in of the colors, done in Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Intuos Graphics Tablet.

This is pretty simple piece so in no time I moved to finishing details, such as turning all the black lineart of the fleshes and yellows to color lineart. I added more texture and color to the background.

Just a bit more polishing - note Jubilee's left forearm, her glasses, and her and Shogo's faces.

Here's how I created the cover to Ghost #3, out this month from Dark Horse. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Christopher Sebela and Geraldo Borges.

First thing was to come up with a cover sketch. These are sketches I submitted to Editor Patrick Thorpe at Dark Horse - drawn at 2x3 inches in my sketchbook in pencil and pen and then cleaned up and colored in Photoshop.

I started penciling the cover with light blue and HB lead on 12" x 18" Bristol Board.

Some pics of the making of my Ramona Flowers sketch at Emerald City Comic Con, Seattle, 2014.

Drawn on 11 x16 Canson Mi-teintes Paper, I rough in the drawing with an Col Erase Scarlet Red Pencil. Then I go straight to "inking" the outline of the drawing with a small tipped (Pitt XS) permanent pen (to avoid bleeding when I later use the Copics greys).

Then I rough in the values with Warp Grey Copics at this point, #2 and 3.

Here's a little look behind how I made my Princess Anna sketch at Emerald City Comic Con, Seattle, 2014.

Working on 11 x16 Canson Mi-teintes Paper, I rough in the drawing with an Col Erase Scarlet Red Pencil. Then I go straight to "inking" the outline of the drawing with a small tipped (Pitt XS) permanent pen (to avoid bleeding when I later use the Copics greys).

Next I use Copic Warm Greys to render the figure and Pitt F, Copic .05, Pigma 1 Black Pens to finish drawing.
